That's how much more likely AI chatbots are than humans to validate a user's action, even if it's deceitful, illegal, or harmful. Oh, true story. I asked my ex-wife what she wanted for Christmas, and she said, a divorce. And I said, that's way too fucking expensive. Listen to me. Markets are bigger than us. What you have here is a structural change in the world distribution. Cash is trash. Stocks look pretty attractive. Something's going to break. Forget about it. Ed, how are you? I'm doing alright. I'm in New York.
Yeah, I'm doing okay. How are you doing? Well, that was fascinating, Ed. We don't talk about me enough. Okay, I'm doing great. I'm headed to Florida on Thursday. I'm going to take some time off. My kids are coming with me. They'll get to see their friends. And yeah, I'm super excited. I'm going to Los Angeles to get more projects going that will soon be canceled. Movie projects? Yeah, or TV. My book has been optioned, Notes on Being a Man. And it's either going to be a documentary or a... Seventh Time Lucky. Yeah, there you go. It's either going to be... I can mock my failure in Hollywood. You cannot. It's either going to be... Which You Like Better, a documentary on... On young men and the challenges they face, including solutions or an original scripted series that's sort of an R-rated wonder years.
Original scripted series. Louis Theroux already did it, and he did it better than anyone could. Yeah, this would be a little bit different. Have you seen The Manosphere? I have. I thought it was one of the best documentaries I've seen in years. Well, let's talk about that. What did you take away from that? Honestly, I think my biggest takeaway was the fact that there is an entirely different media ecosystem that is flourishing online. beneath a lot of people's noses. And I mean, I thought Louis, the way he conducted himself was excellent. And I thought that the way he exposed what is happening and the messages that are being put out there by these guys was excellent.
What are the red flags to watch for in a relationship?
But honestly, I think the big takeaway, what I loved about it is that he shined a light on how huge these guys have become. And most people don't really know the names of these people. They don't really know who Justin Waller and Sneeko and H.S. Tiki Toki are. But, I mean, thousands, hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of young children love these guys. And so what he did was he showed, like, this is what is exactly happening. And he didn't... you know, you didn't really mince words about it. He literally went into the, as the documentary says, he went inside of it and he showed us what's really happening there. I thought the way he did it was just excellent. Even the way that they showed how the live streams work and the comments streaming in and how things get reposted and clipped up and repackaged.
Like, it was really a lesson on how media works today in a way that I think a lot of people could honestly benefit from. The master starts off positive. The fact that there's a group of people or thought leaders trying to speak to young men, I think that's a positive thing. And it starts fine. Be fit, be action-oriented, take responsibility for your life, initiate action, and then it just comes off the tracks. It's all about money, it's all about dominance, it's all about the grift, it's all about misogyny. which is really a shame, but I have another theory I want to lay on you as a young person, and maybe we'll get Claire's reaction. So 80% of women under the age of 30 now don't have a kid. And I don't think it's because they've decided they don't like kids.
I think it's because they're having trouble finding economically and emotionally viable partners. And also there's less venues for men to demonstrate excellence. And I think one of the ways that men demonstrate excellence, and bear with me right now, I think that the lack of bars, the lack of venues, the lack of people going out,
